I have a new hero. Play this clip; you’ll understand. (Sorry, having trouble embedding it.) Senator Michael Bennet (D-Co) is usually a soft-spoken and undemonstrative guy, but he responded to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tx) with more force than he may have shown on the floor ever before. He said all the things that I’ve wanted to say, and he told the story better than I […]
The partial federal shutdown is now at a month, and we sit, frozen and complacent. President Trump insists on $5.7B for his wall. The Democrats insist that the idea is insane (which is correct) and that, while they’ll compromise on almost any other aspect of border security, they won’t pay a cent for Trump’s wall. Now it’s been a month and counting, and Republicans dug […]
Robert Mueller will eventually deliver the Special Council Office report in the next few months. Heck, might drop in weeks. Democrats everywhere want to know the dirt, but we’re worried that our new Attorney General might not let the full truth come out. If we want the Truth, we might need a legislative crowbar. Either way, though, the truth, we say to ourselves, will make […]
We are at a federal governmental impasse. We have nowhere to go. Our 2-sided government decays to the point where neither side will budge an inch. Ever. The entire government train has stopped, all for Trump’s Wall. Time to call it. Like a marriage that’s reached an end, both sides need to just agree to forever and interminably disagree. Never again shall Democrats and Republicans […]
(I borrowed the image from an excellent article in Mother Jones: It’s Time for Journalism to Stand for Something.) Here’s a surprise. Apparently, despite publishing hundreds of thousands of words every day, the Washington Post and the New York Times show poor reading comprehension. I thought they’d be better, but it explains much of today’s news reporting. And why we end up so confused sometimes. It’s […]
Could it be something in the water? Maybe someone is putting a new drug into our beer? Could it be microwaves beamed into our brains? I’m open to suggestions. Anyway, here’s the problem: I think we’ve become coddled. Unfortunately, I don’t mean that metaphorically. At some point, our brains have congealed like overcooked eggs.  It’s like we start every morning with a clean slate. On […]
For Democrats to win more than one election cycle, they need to inspire, not just criticize.
After watching the Ford/Kavanaugh hearings, and especially after listening to the Republican responses, I have to follow the MSNBC commentator who felt like apologizing to all women on behalf of all men. The Republicans have become the party of child abuse, racism, sexual assault, misogyny, and toxic masculinity. And they imply that all men are this way. Idiots. Men are not angry; we’re livid. I’m even enraged […]
